Article Body:
Scientist and NLP have proven that the brain is an electrochemical organ; researchers have hypothesized that a fully functioning brain can generate as much as 10 watts of electricity jh3rd.com

The more conservative scientist calculate that if all 10 billion interconnected nerve cells discharged at one time that a single electrode placed on the human scalp would record something like five millionths to 50 millionths of a volt jigarams.com If you had enough scalps hooked up you might be able to light a flashlight bulb johnnynomad.com

Electrical activity emanating from the brain is displayed in the form of brainwaves kg6fos.com There are four categories of these brainwaves, ranging from the most activity to the least activity lastminuteworldhotel.com

The most intriguing part of all this is you can actually stimulate the brain with sound and light to produce certain brainwaves, which many agree will produce certain benefits lickityclik.com Before we get into all that; let’s first review how we measure brainwaves and what brainwaves are common.

To measure the brainwaves a device call an EEG is used loftrecordingstudio.com The EEG (electroencephalograph) measures brainwaves of different frequencies within the brain margaretmitchellarea.com Electrodes are placed on specific sites on the head to detect and record the electrical impulses within the brain.

Alpha (8-12 Hz)
Alpha waves are those between 7.5 and 13(Hz) marinpsych.com Alpha waves will peak around 10Hz michellemitchellonline.com Good healthy alpha production promotes mental resourcefulness, aids in the ability to mentally coordinate and enhance overall sense of relaxation and fatigue midlothianagenda.com In this state you can move quickly and efficiently to accomplish whatever task is at hand morroalto.com When Alpha predominates most people feel at ease and calm mytruclean.com Alpha appears to bridge the conscious to the subconscious.

Beta (above 12 Hz)
Beta activity is 'fast' activity nolinealproducciones.com It has a frequency of 14 and greater Hz pamelacrutchfield.com It reflects desynchronized active brain tissue preserveatelkhornsprings.com It is usually seen on both sides in symmetrical distribution and is most evident frontally probiome.com It may be absent or reduced in areas of cortical damage.

Delta (0.1 to 3 Hz)  
The lowest frequencies are delta property4africa.com These are less than 4 Hz and occur in deep sleep and in some abnormal processes also during experiences of "empathy state" quilterscornerct.com Delta waves are involved with our ability to integrate and let go restaurantmgt.com It reflects unconscious mind.

Gamma (above 36 Hz)
Gamma is measured between 36 44 (Hz) and is the only frequency group found in every part of the brain. When the brain needs to simultaneously process information from different areas, it’s hypothesized that the 40Hz activity consolidates the required areas for simultaneous processing. A good memory is associated with well-regulated and efficient 40Hz activity, whereas a 40Hz deficiency creates learning disabilities

Theta (4-8 Hz)
The next brainwave is theta. Theta activity has a frequency of 3.5 to 7.5 Hz and is classed as "slow" activity. It is seen in connection with creativity, intuition, daydreaming, and fantasizing and is a repository for memories, emotions, and sensations. Theta waves are strong during internal focus, meditation, prayer, and spiritual awareness. It reflects the state between wakefulness and sleep. Relates to subconscious.

We offer a CD that contains combinations of these frequencies at www.countrybee.com We will go further into brainwaves in the next part of this series.
